This summer I got to enjoy a clear starry night with almost no light pollution. It felt surreal. I was captivated by their beauty and amazed at how many stars are available for our viewing pleasure each night but how rarely we are actually able to see them. Where I live, light pollution rules the sky, which is why I seek out places where the light has yet to take the throne. One night this summer while camping on a beach I was inspired to write a few words that express my love for the stars. Today I want to share that with you in honor of summer, in honor of time, in honor of life. Beneath the Great Unknown There’s something special about gazing at the stars No light pollution, city noise or cars We smile as we get lost beneath the great unknown No interruptions, no reception on our phone The midnight chill dominates the air The conversation’s steaming, feet are bare We lie beneath the studded sky Talking about what ifs and whys We ponder about what the future holds While the worlds greatest show, in front of us unfolds Our ears are tuned into the ocean And just like that, worry becomes a silly notion I see the universe reflecting in your eyes Childish, beautiful yet wise Today we found a new dimension A place of wonder, kindness, and intention This moment we will forever own A king and queen under the stars swinging on their throne With love, Alyana If you share my love for stars, please help me share this poem with our fellow night sky lovers via your favorite social media link below!

This is a special piece for me. I wrote it to raise awareness about suicide. For any of you who have been there, please stay strong and remember that suicide is not the answer. The world is full of wonderful loving people who will drop what they’re doing to help a stranger in need. It may be hard to see that at the time but please know we are here for each other. Please reach out, talk to someone, seek help. When nothing is left, there is always hope. No one knows what tomorrow may bring So I sit back and wish for one thing That someday this world will understand The significance of a helping hand I can’t stop it, it goes round and round Thoughts battle it out pound for pound The good, the bad and the worst Sometimes I feel blessed, sometimes cursed Most days my mind is oppressed by worry Makes all the good around me seem blurry Feels like a deadly hurricane in my head A twister of self-inflicted regrets that I dread God forbid I make a mistake Take a chance and risk what’s at stake What if I disappear tomorrow Will life still be full of sorrow? What if someone out there is just like me? Feels cast away, forgotten, lost at sea What if we find a way to connect? Help each other up with love and respect What if there are many of us Imagine the things we could discuss We could swap stories of pain from our sorrow Talk about precious time life let us borrow And help each other through to a brighter tomorrow Know that you’re never truly alone Even with silence over…

If every man was good like you So many hearts would still be whole The fairy tales would all come true And love would energize our souls Nothing would event harm a child We would be free from suffering and pain Our freedom could run wild And people stop to listen to the rain The world would be a better place A place of kindness and embrace Somewhere we feel we can belong A world that’s delicate yet strong Where love and honesty would thrive And every compliment was true The world would love to feel alive If every man was good like you Dedicated to my best friend, husband and father of my son…
